UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma took a swipe at Iowa star Caitlin Clark, saying she "didn't capture anybody's imagination," according to a report from HITC on Wednesday.
The comments, made on November 4, 2026, add to the ongoing discourse surrounding Clark's impact on the women's game. Auriemma, a Hall of Fame coach with 11 national championships, has previously offered pointed assessments of top players.
Clark, the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer, has drawn massive attention and record viewership during her collegiate career. Auriemma's remarks contrast with the widespread acclaim Clark has received for elevating the sport's profile.
